Tore Andersen

Tore Andersen: Singer and songwriter

The hero in me

This is Tore Andersen's first album. It was released in 1993.

Torbjørn Foss, Stjørdalens Blad, 3 mars 2003: He is an excellent guitar player, he has a true country & western voice, he has a remarkable reputation among c/w artists, and he has given us a very good album ... Tore Andersen may have the best country & western voice in Norway. And that is not a bad testimonial!

Oddvar Nygård, Nordlys/NRK: You may just as well remember his name right now. In my humble opinion, within his genre he is one of the best singers in the kingdom, fantastic voice, lots of punch, excellent delivery, a so much feeling that I will actually call it "soul". His singing almost makes me gasp for air, and I have heard a few singers!
